Re: [pacman-dev] difficult symlink "puzzle"

Is it very important to worry about -Rd ? Using it shouldn't be recommend anyway. I think it's more important to first control the behavior of normal operations is correct. About the current behavior of pacman overwriting symlink, this was caused to the upgrade of libarchive, and this isn't wanted. We are currently trying to reproduce the same behavior (not overwriting symlinks) : http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7484
